It looks like we are at a go for shipping Unified Telemetry for 42.
Disabling HealthReport / v2 in 42 beta seems risky, so we are choosing the conservative route of just disabling data upload for v2.

This means we can land a minimal patch for a pref to specifically disable v2 upload.

Actually disabling v2 will happen, but should ride the trains properly to reduce risk of fallout.
Heads-up.

Add: "This is like ``datareporting.policy.dataSubmissionEnabled``, but only affects FHR - Telemetry upload will not be disabled."

Alexandra, I see this bug having a qe-verify+ but no verified flags nor a comment. I know it has been a while but was this verified?

We need to make sure no FHR v2 data is sent and v4 is still being sent with the pref datareporting.policy.dataSubmissionEnabled.v2 set to false.
